Which should trump the other?
Should a player in a more expensive fit be virtually invulnerable to a player in a cheaper fit, even if the cheaper player is more skilled?
Should a skilled player in a militia fit be able to win in a 1v1 with a less-skilled player with Proto gear.
Or, should it REQUIRE 2-3 players in cheaper fits to take out a single player in an expensive fit, regardless of skill, just because that one player's fit costs more ISK?
Discuss. |

Ok, just to clarify, I am referring to a player's actual skill at the game, not the amount of SP he has aquired.
Let's say, for argument's sake, you've got 2 players in a 1v1 situation:
Player A, who's a very casual gamer, has only actually played a couple of times, but has amassed enough Passive SP to qualify for Proto-level gear, and has either been given ISK or used Aurum to buy it.
And Player B, whose played religiously since closed beta, knows the game inside out, but has just left the Academy with his most recent alt.
Should Player B's gaming skill be enough to overcome Player A's superior equipment, or should better gear be enough to bridge the gap of experience and skill? Should Player B's skills as a gamer alone be enough to beat Player A by himself, or should it be NECESSARY to use teamwork, and attack in numbers to defeat Player A, simply because his gear is better/more expensive? |

Discuss. Depends on the situation. Are they going head on and they both see each other? Is one getting the first shot on? You'd have to define the situation in order to get a proper answer.
I'm just talking in very general terms.
Assuming all else being equal, neither has the drop on the other (unless, maybe, the more skilled player used said skill to engage on favorable terms - that can be considered part of the gaming "skill", after all), both are Infantry and appropriately equipped to combat Infantry, and are using comparable weapons. |

Alright then, what about vehicles?
By the very same logic, should it require 3-4 players using teamwork and a coordinated effort to take out a single player in an HAV or Dropship, simply because it's expensive, or should a skillful enough player be capable of taking them on 1v1? |
